On Friday night, Aidan and I were relaxing after getting ready for bed. We decided to play a couple games of Uno, which has quickly become his new favorite game. During the game he looked up at me and said:
Aidan: "Mom, I love you. You're the best mom ever."
Jenny: "Thanks, Aidan. Why do you think I'm the best mom ever?"
Aidan: "Because you let me go to [insert name here] school and I really love it there."
Jenny: "I'm so glad you like your new school. Daddy and I think you're going to do really well and we are so proud of you."
I was a little worried about Aidan starting kindergarten because his preschool teacher told us that she didn't think he was ready for full day kindergarten because he couldn't sit still. However, he seems to have adjusted just fine and this seems to be the perfect fit for him. I think the routine and structure is exactly what he needed.
We are so blessed to have been welcomed into this school/church community. As I write this post, I can't help but think of my favorite prayer. I have it hanging in our home, as well as at my office and look to it often:
"May today there be peace within. May you trust God that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith. May you use those gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content knowing you are a child of God. Let his presence settle into our bones, and allow your souls the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of you."

Hey Jenny!!! I'm always keeping an eye on this blog, but have yet to ever post a comment. Hopefully this works... I'm working in Mexico right now, and the directions on how to post are all in spanish (of which I know ZERO of) :-) So here goes nothing..
Anyways, reading the 'night before school' story made me remember how you were on those days as a kid...uhhh, 20 years ago!!! How funny!! I guess it was the same feeling I had when you guys made me get dressed up for Halloween... hahah!! (are we turning into our parents?..never thought we'd be saying "remember 20 years ago"!!!)... uuuugggghhh!!!
...And to see the balloon Aiden is holding saying "Class of 2020" makes me want to crawl in a hole. Holy Cow!!! Jeeze, I can remember like it was yesterday when St.Mary's class of 2000 entered Kindergarden... to think that Aiden is 2020!!!
Hope all is well with everyone, please tell everyone I said HI!!!
email me sometime!
bueno somethin'-or-other-o
